Shades of My Memory

Amusing my mind,
my thoughts take flight..
They seek out  planes
of their own choice..
They speak in riddles,
probing me with questions..
gifting me back a glimpse
of  a long forgotten  life....

What shade is my memory?
 i smiled at my new quest..
will that be a  tint of gray or a vivid blue?
It ought to be a blue-
as deep as the seas..
as wide as the skies..
as missed as the drops of first rain
and as true as the  tears running down my cheeks-
their touch reminding me of  the truth in those moments,
of the pain some gifted and of the smiles some bestowed,
both speaks of a life.. a life  fully lived
with no regrets or decisions to be undone..

They seem to me a fluttering butterfly
so alluring.... yet so unattainable..
I try to hold on , lest they take leave-
to relish those moments , to remember their feel..
yet  i find some slipping away
like those loose sands held in hand..
lost to time..  lost from me,,


A song of solace reaches my heart..
their  farewell note , the softest whisper..
" memories are made , memories are lost..
be it moments of pain or the smiles bestowed,
 it is the people in them that matter the most"
